IUD Removal

Abby • Sigh

I’ve had my IUD* for about six months and I’m thinking about getting it removed within the next few months. Mainly because I’m having lower tummy pain and I believe the IUD is the cause. I’ve had no problems so far and no periods.

What should I expect when having it removed? (Pain obviously) But should I bring pads? Will my period become normal again in a few months? Hormones?

*I have the Mirena
